Believe It or Not!

Did you think that the 'S' shield of Superman is an abbreviation of his name, that 'S' stands for Superman? Well no! It is actually an ancient Kryptonian symbol that means 'hope'. Clark Kent used it as his seal because of this, and the fact that it was a family seal, as well.

There you have it! One of the most sought-after tattoo designs associated with our hero is his famous seal with the stylized 'S', and now you have just discovered that it is also a symbol used for hope! This is just one of the few instances where our hero seems to outrun our imagination and ends up doing something far more 'WOW' than we assumed initially. This is what makes him a hero, a superhero, our Superman!

Superman tattoo designs are perhaps one of the most popular designs in the midst of comic lovers, and why shouldn't they be? He is the pioneer of the legacy of superheroes; he is the one to start it all! He is the one who made us imagine, see, and (through his stories) believe that the odd guy with huge glasses, over-sized clothes, and a slouched walk can be an extremely handsome hero who wears a suit that makes it possible to see every cut, curve, and muscle on his body! After all, truth is stranger than fiction, and who knows if this character originated from reality?

He is our hero, and there are a lot of things that we LOVE about him, maybe because they inspire us, remind us of our first superhero idol, or just because they are associated with the greatest legend of the comic world! There are so many things about him that are beyond awesome―his powers, body, and the overall style he has. Just think of the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of him, and that should be your ideal Superman tattoo. Have a look at the following designs to draw some inspiration.

These are just some of the many possibilities that this tattoo theme can have. You can ink his powerful punch, his steel-breaking strength, his awesome flying posture, or an even more cartooned form of him. You can put in a quote next to his symbol, or fuse other inspirational elements with his shield, as done in the last image. In fact, you can also fuse the Superman theme with a personal experience and get a unique design that is solely relevant to your life, which will undoubtedly act as an inspiration to many.

Perhaps you have overcome a great hurdle in your life, an accident, or a life-changing incident that was more than enough to break you, but you overcame it with power and integrity. You know why? Because you are the biggest fan and follower of the one who is called 'The Man of Steel'. Just ink how he inspires you, and you, in turn, inspire the world with your design!
